LEBANESE-STYLE GREEN BEAN STEW

This recipe comes from Leah Leneman's book "Easy Vegan Cooking". I haven't made this yet, but unlike other green bean dishes I've tried, this one includes potatoes. It also has a good quantity of cumin, which is one of my favourite spices. Leah suggests this is served a main dish, with crusty wholewheat bread or pitta bread; and that is how I will be serving it.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb potato, peeled and chopped into small pieces
3/4 lb green beans, topped and tailed (long beans cut in half)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, fry the onion in the oil for 2 - 3 minutes then add the potatoes and continue cooking for another 3 - 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the beans, sprinkle over the cumin and cayenne and mix well together.
  • Whizz the tomatoes in a blender, then add the liquidized tomatoes to the pan; stir the contents, bring to the boil, cover and leave to simmer over a medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When the beans and potato are tender and tomatoes have reduced to a thick sauce, test for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as required; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen beans, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To make the stew more flavorful, use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • If you want a thicker stew, add a cornstarch slurry at the end of cooking. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the stew.
  • Serve the stew with rice, pita bread, or your favorite side dish.
